A BEEP Fund Doctor, the doctor/paramedic crew from Pride of Cumbria GNAAS Air Ambulance and paramedic crews from Northwest Ambulance Service, attended a serious two vehicle RTC on A66 west of Cockermouth at 07.45 today; sadly despite their significant medical interventions, the driver of one car was pronounced dead at the scene. Our thoughts & sincere condolences are with the family & friends of the deceased.

The two occupants of the other vehicle were taken by land ambulance to West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven for further checks.
